Invitation to Lacan: Clinical Lacan

 

The third lecture in Dr. Hammermeister's Invitation to Lacan series. Across an exploration of desire, jouissance and sexuation, Lacan's distinct understanding of subjectivity - and its bearing on clinical work - is illuminated. The series aims to introduce the work of French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan, private physician of Picasso, a friend of the Symbolists, enfant terrible of the International Psychoanalytic Association, and 'superstar' of the Parisian intellectual scene. These lectures provide a systematic, lucid overview of his life and the most important concepts of his work. Dr. Hammermeister is a Berlin-based psychoanalyst. Previously he taught literature and philosophy in the U.S.A. and for many years published extensively on psychoanalysis, philosophical aesthetics and hermeneutics.
